The Fiji Water Flying Fijians are not too worried about the changes that Ireland has made to their match day 23 squad for tomorrow’s clash in Dublin.
Co-captain and hooker Tevita Ikanivere says it is still the Irish team and they are still sitting in the top three in the World Rugby Rankings.
Ikanivere says Ireland doesn’t make changes and drops down the rankings.
He adds he and his team have previewed their opponent and hopefully, everything they have previewed and worked on through the week will work tomorrow against the Irish in Dublin.
Ikanivere further says a series of landmark scalps of Test rugby’s leading nations has fuelled belief his in-form side can claim a historic first victory over Ireland.
He says once they achieve success, it’s hard not to believe that they can go further.
The 25-year-old says once success is tasted, you just want to keep going to the next step and trying to achieve the next big thing, and that’s what the Flying Fijians is about now, and that is trying to get better and move forward.
Ikanivere says that making history and being the first Fijian side to beat the Irish in Ireland would be great, and that’s the goal; that’s the plan.
The Flying Fijians will take on Ireland at 3.10am tomorrow at Aviva Stadium.
Meanwhile, France continued their unbeaten run in the Autumn Nations Series after claiming a 37-23 win over Argentina this morning.
